Refugee Claim
If you are afraid to return to your country because of danger or persecution, you may be able to stay in Canada as a refugee. Persecution means you are in danger because of your race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or because you belong to a certain group.
To claim refugee status, you need to show that your country cannot protect you. Even if you are not a Convention refugee, you can still be protected if you are at risk of torture, cruel treatment, or death.
You can apply for refugee status when you arrive in Canada. The Refugee Protection Division (RPD) will decide your case. They have strict deadlines, so it’s important to prepare quickly. At Brace Law, we can help you with your refugee claim. Contact us today!
Refugee Appeal
If your refugee claim fails, you will receive a Removal Order. A Removal Order, regardless of whether it is a Departure, Exclusion, or Deportation Order, requires you to leave Canada. If you fear returning to your country of nationality, you can make an application for a Pre-Removal Risk Assessment (PRRA) to assess your risk before removal. Contact our Refugee Claim Lawyers for Refugee Appeal.

Pre-Removal Risk Assessment (PRRA)
The PRRA aims to assess whether the applicant faces a risk in their home country and should not be deported there. It is similar to a refugee claim as it sets the same conditions for trouble due to religion, race, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. However, it is essential to note that a person who has made a refugee claim before the Refugee Protection Division and/or the Refugee Appeal Division may not apply for the PRRA unless at least one year has passed since their initial refugee claim was rejected.
Humanitarian & Compassionate Grounds Application
If your refugee claim was not successful, or you didn’t apply as a refugee, you can still ask to stay in Canada permanently through a special process called humanitarian and compassionate grounds. This means immigration authorities might let you stay if there’s a strong reason, like facing serious hardship or big problems if you return to your home country.
This application asks immigration to make an exception to the usual rules for applying for permanent residence. It can help people who are in Canada without legal status or who have other difficulties with immigration.
When deciding, immigration authorities will look at things like:
-
The conditions in your home country
-
How long you’ve lived in Canada
-
The specific circumstances of the family members
-
If your family can live together in another country
If you’re having trouble with your refugee application or need help with an appeal, Brace Law is here to support you. Our experienced lawyer can guide you through the process and help solve any problems you face.
